The DC Movies Thread v AQUAMAN

[Adami]

Absolutely loved The Suicide Squad. What a fun movie.

Yea, saw it earlier. Really really great movie. Second act was a bit slow but overall fantastic movie.

[jingle.boy]

jingle.son and I enjoyed it very much.  So much ridiculousness.

James Gunn has been one of my favorite directors/screenwriters for a while so I'm glad WB just let him do whatever he wanted here. Reminds me of his earlier films like Slither and Super but with a gigantic budget. Also enjoyed the Lloyd Kaufman cameo and apparently Toxie is hidden in there somewhere too.

Also Side note, I want some King Shark merch ASAP.

[lonestar]

I'm more anxious to see the King Shark cosplays at the cons.


It was a fun movie, stupid as fuck, but fun.

Watched TSS last night, after finally watching SS 2016 for the first time ever the night before. Definitely a unique experience watching both on consecutive nights, though now I wish I had squeezed Birds Of Prey in there between them. At least I watched the Extended Cut of SS 2016, and it wasn't awful. For me, definitely a B-grade movie.

But HOLY COW, was James Gunn's The Suicide Squad something else entirely. I loved it. A+ from me. Easily one of the best DCEU films released.

Fun fact - James Gunn now has the distinction of releasing the 10th film in both the MCU and the DCEU. Cannot wait to see what he's got in store for Peacemaker, who was pretty great in TSS.

So is this a remake or a sequel/prequel?   The original wasn't bad, wasn't great; the joy of seeing Margot Robbie in a tight t-shirt lasted longer than it should have (that's not meant to be sexist, but to say that the movie wasn't as compelling as it might have been).

It’s a sequel/soft reboot. It doesn’t really mention the original other than a few returning characters, and using the foundation set by the first one as to what the team even is.

And, imo, Robbie's was the standout performance

Of this one? I dunno. She was great as always but I was just as interested in almost everyone else. I think everyone gave a great performance.

[soupytwist]

Liked it.  But didn't love it - still think the first Wonder Woman is the best DC (universe).

Thought the first 45 minutes or so were great (until they 'rescue' Rick Flag) and the finale was great, but there is a ton of dead air in the bloated mid section that I found quite dull.  Also not keen on Harley in this film, a lot of her jokes fell flat (that Milton stuff....).  I also really didn't like Harley (an agent of random chaos) turning into a precision killing machine (ala John Wick) - felt completely out of character.   I also felt The Thinker was completely wasted from a character point of view anyway, which is a shame as Peter Capaldi was brilliant with what little he was given.

Went in thinking King Shark would be the highlight but actually Ratcatcher 2 and her rat stole the show for me.

[Stadler]

I'm not saying that Harley is exactly this, but there are some characters that were never intended to be "lead characters" but merely foils of those around them, and I think that in the rush to have 8 million characters in each universe, we've sort of lost sight of that in both universes.

Anybody watching Titans on HBO MAX?  Season 3 Episode 2 was amazing.

[Adami]

Anybody watching Titans on HBO MAX?  Season 3 Episode 2 was amazing.

I avoided that show for a long time because of how awful that first trailer was with the "F*** Batman" thing. Then I decided to give it a shot a few months ago and watched the first two seasons.

Definitely WAY over dramatic, but actually pretty good. Not nearly as good as Doom Patrol, but not nearly as bad as I had imagined. I started watching season 3 but was so tired I actually fell asleep during episode 2. So I should probably try that one again haha. I remember seeing the ending and I already knew the Red Hood identity from other stuff, but I'm sure there's a ton I missed.

[King Postwhore]

It definitely is not our normal Teen Titans buy I've been enjoying it.

[Adami]

I've never seen Teen Titans and I've never been a DC comics guy, so a lot of this is new to me which is fun.

Also just watched Episode 3...........woah.

[King Postwhore]

Tomorrow night for me!!

Saw The Suicide Squad over the weekend.  Awesome.  My favorite modern DC movie.

Love it

[MirrorMask]

Eh, with two minutes of footage they can make you believe anything. Having said that, looks quite good!!!

[Polarbear]

Just when you thought they couldn't make The Batman any darker...

Honestly, looks good! I'm reserving judgement until after I've seen it though.

The Batman has been revealed to be 167 minutes long without credits, making it one of the longest comic book movies of all time, behind the likes of Avengers: Endgame and Zack Snyder's Justice League.

Can't wait to spend nearly 3 hours in the grim and gritty Gotham!

That honestly makes it more likely that I will wait til I can watch it at home.

My 60 year-old bladder and lack of a prostate agrees.

jingle.son and I plan on driving an hour to see this in (the closest) IMAX

[King Postwhore]

Damn Chad. That's the closest I-MAX to you?

[Adami]

Socialized movie theaters.

Mine's like two miles. God bless America.

I really hope The Batman is good. 3 hours of film and it not being DCEU are already two big plusses for me. And Robert Pattinson is great.

I tend to like long films. Usually they are quicker than tv-series but slower than the usual blockbuster, aka my sweetspot.
